I believe this needs packaged because:

Problems with Visualboy Advance in the Ubuntu repository:

- Program runs with lesser performance.
- Has a critical issue where GB games run "too fast" and GBA games "too slow".
- Is not being actively developed.
- It has less features.

VBA-M adds fixes all of these issues and includes both a GTK graphical
interface and an SDL command line Interface. I have tested the program
myself and can confirm it runs without any show stopping issues on Lucid
and Maverick. More testing and review may be needed I suppose, though in
it's current state it has far more functionality than VisualboyAdvance,
which hardly gets off the ground.
